<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On January 6, 2016,
the Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of DGSE Companies, Inc. (&ldquo;DGSE&rdquo;) elected Michael J. Noel as a member
of the Board effective immediately. Mr. Noel was appointed by the Board to serve on the Compliance, Governance and Nominating Committee,
the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee. The Board also determined that Mr. Noel is an &ldquo;independent director&rdquo;
for purposes of NYSE MKT and Securities and Exchange Commission (&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) rules and meets the other requirements of the
NYSE MKT and the SEC for purposes of serving on the Compliance, Governance and Nominating Committee, the Compensation Committee
and the Audit Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Mr. Noel is currently
the Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operations Officer of Taylor Stephens, Inc., a Dallas based investment advisory firm offering
discretionary portfolio management services, of which Mr. Noel and another partner each acquired fifty percent ownership in 2013.
Prior to 2013, Mr. Noel was one of the cofounders of Braymen, Lambert &amp; Noel Securities (&ldquo;BLNS&rdquo;), an investment
advisory and brokerage firm that specialized in fixed income securities. At the end of 2015, Wells Nelson &amp; Associates (&ldquo;Wells
Nelson&rdquo;) acquired the fixed income brokerage business of BLNS. Mr. Noel now manages the Texas fixed income sales and trading
operations for Wells Nelson.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">There is no arrangement
or understanding pursuant to which Mr. Noel was selected as a director of DGSE and there are no family relationships between Mr.
Noel and the other directors or executive officers of the Company. Since the beginning of DGSE&rsquo;s last fiscal year, Mr. Noel
has not had any transactions or currently proposed transactions in which Mr. Noel was or is to be a participant in amounts greater
than $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.</P>
